Papaya Boat filled to the brim with homemade vegan cashew yoghurt. It is easier than you might think!

This filled papaya boat with cashew yoghurt is raw, vegan, gluten-free, full of probiotics & protein and is totally delicious and a lot of fun to make. The recipe is super easy, and it requires only minimal active hands-on preparation time.

Many brands of probiotics come in capsule form. Simply open the capsules and pour the content into your cashew paste to use as a starting culture. Look for brands that are labeled “dairy-free” or “vegan,”.

A finished yoghurt can also be used as a starter for your next batch. If you have never made yoghurt before, you can use store-bought yoghurt instead. There are numerous dairy-free yoghurt brands available today, including those made from coconut milk, almonds, cashew, and so on. Save a small amount of yoghurt to use as a starter for your first batch. This concept generally works well, and then you’ll just save a bit from the new batch and so on.

Creamy, tangy, thick and simply delicious. Happy creating!

Exotic Red Danube Walnut & Maple Spiced Truffle

A lost piece of culture is given new life.

The red Danube Walnut is regarded as a tradition in Mostviertel. In comparison to other nuts, walnuts have much greater levels of omega-3 fatty acids, making them one of the finest plant sources of protein. Walnuts are a type of shell fruit and have a 50–70% fat and 10–20% protein composition. Even more so, the red Danube (also known as the rote Donaunuss) has a 10% higher fat content. They are regarded as the best form of brain fuel. The red Danube combines these healthy qualities, including a mild and delicate taste.

The tree appears to be a typical walnut tree. You have to break it open to see the differences. The nut kernel’s skin can be anything from red to purple in color. The flavors vary greatly as well. Red Danubes are not bitter and have a wonderful flavor and fragrance. There are currently very few remaining specimens. You’re going to love these four ingredient treats. These easy to make truffles are packed with protein, Omega-3s, and fiber!

HOW TO MAKE CHIA PUDDING

Make chia seed pudding for a healthy breakfast or snack right at your fingertips. Bonus — it’s super easy to make!

Chia seeds are nutritionally dense seeds that will thicken any liquid you add them to. Mix them up with cashew milk, coconut or almond milk and you’ve got an almost instant pudding with a tapioca-like texture and gently sweet flavor. Its great to have for breakfast, as a snack or dessert. You can use either black or white chia seeds here, or a mix. Before serving, feel free to thin out the pudding with a little extra plant milk to taste since it will continue to thicken as it sets.
